Read
Allow me to be direct. Reading will dramatically improve
your chances of success. You need not take my word for it. Warren Buffet’s
longtime business partner, the late Charlie Munger often said, “in my whole
life, I have known now wise people who didn’t read all the time. None. Zero.”
Making time in your day to read is a great investment.
Being a life-long learner will set you apart from the crowd, make you a more
valuable creator, contributor and help you get more out of life.
All of the great performers and programmers are
readers with rare exception. They read not only to learn, but to be
entertained.
The great Paul Drew often suggested reading biographies.
Jim Yergin, the research genius who invented reach and frequency, was always
reading and recommending books, especially on philosophy. Both of those
successful leaders are among the wise people I have known that led me to
understanding and appreciating the incredible value of reading.
